Time for the world to put bullets where it really counts, the US just walked straight into it's forever war 🙄

Don't forget your Hypersonic hard-hats, those SAMS will be the very first thing that is destroyed.

US troops will deploy to Israel – Pentagon

American forces will be sent to operate a missile defense battery ahead of a likely Israeli attack on Iran

The US has ordered the deployment of a THAAD air defense system to Israel, along with a crew of American service members to operate it, Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder announced on Sunday. The move marks the first deployment of US combat troops on Israeli soil since the Israel-Hamas war began last year.

According to Ryder, the THAAD battery “and associated crew of US military personnel” will be stationed in Israel “to help bolster Israel’s air defenses following Iran’s unprecedented attacks against Israel on April 13 and again on October 1.”

US President Joe Biden, who the White House previously said had “no plans or intentions to put US boots on the ground in combat,” ordered the deployment, Ryder stated.

The THAAD, or Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, is a mobile anti-ballistic missile system designed to detect and intercept ballistic missiles during their descent stage. It fires a non-explosive projectile at eight times the speed of sound, relying on kinetic energy to destroy incoming missiles.

A THAAD battery consists of 95 soldiers and six truck-mounted launchers capable of firing a total of 48 interceptors.

The US deployed a THAAD battery to Saudi Arabia after the Israel-Hamas war began last October, and to Israel on a training exercise in 2019. However, neither the system nor the American troops who operate it have been sent to Israel since the current conflict began.

While American soldiers took part in a brief aid mission off the coast of Gaza earlier this year, they did not set foot in the Palestinian enclave.

The deployment comes as Israel prepares its response to an Iranian missile attack on October 1, in which around 200 ballistic missiles were fired at Israeli military targets. Tehran maintains that the strike was a “legitimate” response to Israel’s assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and a senior Iranian general in Beirut.

Israel is widely expected to target Iran’s oil or nuclear infrastructure, although the US has advised West Jerusalem against either choice. Whatever form the Israeli response takes, Iran has vowed to retaliate. Earlier this week, a source in Tehran told RT that this retaliation would be “proportionate.” Should West Jerusalem target Iran’s oil infrastructure, Tehran will respond by striking Israel’s oil refineries. Attacks on other infrastructure, such as power plants or nuclear facilities, will likewise prompt retaliatory strikes on corresponding installations in Israel, the source explained.

Hours before Ryder’s announcement, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi warned that the US is putting the “lives of its troops at risk by deploying them to operate US missile systems in Israel.”

“While we have made tremendous efforts in recent days to contain an all-out war in our region, I say it clearly that we have no red lines in defending our people and interests,” Araghchi added.”

Clare Daly is back!

To tell you what kind of dystopia the EU is doing to and planning for you⚠️
Wake up Europe, it’s time for accountability :

These past 4 weeks I've never known such monumental movements away from the collective west.
As Russia's resources are sanctioned, across africa Russia's trading nuclear infrastructure, refining capabilities ports and satellite coverage for partnerships. Along with Chinese public infrastructure interlinking communities across regions.
This has completely locked out the collective west sparking open rebellion across Africa against dynasty leaders put in place by EU/US as puppets, and those aligned with EU/US which have never seen progress despite decades of "partnerships."
As the the fires of open rebellion against the old order are rage the panic from the threat of losing access and losing its stranglehold over africa has the three key states Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger are in US/EU firing lines.
